QUOTES
“We use visual models to explain complex, contentious issues because it takes the ego of the conversation away from the people and places it into the model. There’s a deep psychology that occurs when you work through the language of visual models.” – Simon Bowen
“If you’re here to make a difference and make an impact, you have to actually embrace selling. You cannot make a difference if you’re not selling something, even if it’s just an idea. – Jacqueline Brooker
“The most successful people in the world are not the people with the best product — they’re the people with the greater ability to influence.” – Simon Bowen
“You will sell more from a stage if you don’t sell from the stage. If you deliver immense value they come to you.” – Jacqueline Brooker
“Only about 11% of what we bring into the brain through the sensory system comes through the auditory channel. 83% comes in through the visual channel. So if we can give people visual access to the idea, we open up their minds.” – Simon Bowen
